Presenter Xavier Pippin Mr. Route 66 2026: Session Renaissance: Ballroom and Leather a BIPOC Perspective
Bio
Alpha Aviso Pupperton is the head to pack Ostara, sub to Sir Lawrance, Mr. Route 66 Leather 2026 and dedicated pet and leather man to his community. From helping pets in the Austin area to mentoring new subs in Lubbock as well as Amarillo, this wolf is always on the move and ready to lend a helping paw. He also harbors a second head space, the dragon Quetzalcoatl Burnbright and uses this fiery headspace to help promote other animal roleplay visibility. Some of his proudest achievements of late are donating research to the Leather Archives & Museum in Chicago as well as aiding in leading the BIPOC roundtable at Austin Rubber Round Up. When not on the move, this dancing dog is practicing choreography in secret to very cunty playlists, sketching lewd art, and lost in erotic poetry. This theatrical good boy is full of love for his community, queer family, and ready to show you, his grit.
Presenter Kent Henry: Session Erotic Hypnosis
Kent is a certified hypnotist that discovered the erotic aspects of trance when the internet became commonplace. He learned erotic hypnosis through working with others. Kent often leads HypnoCon, an annual gathering around the country for gay males to explore erotic hypnosis in person. He lectures at kink gatherings and groups. When not hypnotizing others, Kent works on computers, plays role-playing and board games and talks about Star Trek.
